Reflections on Google+ Activity 7

I just had fun video "hangingout" with my techie daughter.  It felt good because I had to explain Google+ to her and how to have a hangout.  A long time ago we use to Skype, this worked much better.  I also look forward to trying a live educational hangout later.  I am starting to realize how much is available "free" with Google.  The docs, spreadsheets, video conferencing all use to be from paid products.  It is amazing how much Google has to offer!

For my circles, I added our class, chemistry teachers, and family.  I really like the idea that I can share with just certain people.  I have a picture with my students that I put up just for our class and not to the public.  I can see a real benefit in personalizing who I share with.  I also joined some communities.  I chose some science ones and a Doctor Who one too just for fun.

  1. I used to love Doctor Who. Haven't seen it in a while, but my mom has started watching it and loves it, too.

    Glad you enjoyed your Hangout. My parents have mastered face-time after dropping Skype. I'm not sure they are ready for a hangout because they are not on gmail, but I'm glad to hear you thought it was all easy.

    I'm addicted to Google products. Can't imagine life without it!
